Fall Camping

Our family looks forward to camping each fall. The temperatures are a little cooler, the leaves start changing colors, and the campgrounds are generally less busy. Unfortunately, both weekends we chose to camp this year resulted in pouring rain 90% of the time.

Don't be fooled by the picture below. This was taken at Hoffmaster State Park, about 2 hours before we had to leave on Sunday. It rained ALL day on Saturday. We were so bummed because this is one of our favorite campgrounds.

















We did, however, explore Muskegon a bit and ended up touring a LST ship that was almost identical to the one Caleb's grandpa served on. We also enjoyed excellent burgers at a local restaurant.

Our next fall camping trip was planned for the first weekend in October at Sleeper State Park. Again...rain, rain, and more rain. Thankfully, it cleared up for a few hours on Saturday night for the kids to go trick-or treating. Hannah didn't mind the wet, cold weather. She was all bundled up in this cozy monkey costume!

















She also got to take a pony ride which she loved! A few of the other campers really went all out on decorations this year. We thought it was a bit over the top and also very scary for the kids!
